I finally put the kayak in the lake for the first time last night.
I had forgotten just how therapeutic it is.
Being out there made me forget a lot of things.
Like schedules and things to do and issues.
After awhile I even forgot where I was.
I sat still and took pictures with my (phone)camera.
I think the best part of the evening kayak...
was that I remembered how to breathe again.
That's always a good thing to remember.

Remembering to breathe is a good thing :)
I've only kayaked once and loved it.
When I saw that first pic I helped me breathe as well :) Kayaking is one of my favorite parts of our MN vacation. So soothing to be on top of the water.....
it's important to take time for yourself.....sounds like fun!!!
i have always wanted to kayak, maybe that will be my next adventure!!!!
Yes, breathing is always important.
I love your pictures. They are so good and clear.
Oh yes, remembering how to breathe really is a bonus! I prayed for a long time for the opportunity to go kayaking around Zanzibar... And then one day, out of the blue, it came true. Therapeutic doesn't begin to describe it.
oh, the water looks cool...
what an awesome place to unwind...
Oh Yes!
Wonderful. Oh, and breathing is good.
Relax! :-)

Thanks for the reminder!
The photos are really nice...
oh...i could totally use that right now in the midst of being back in the city...it's almost too much.
Those shots make me wish I was out on the water---looks so relaxing.
I really want to be in that kayak on that lake...soaking it all in.
Lovely.
You FORGOT to put your kayak in the lake? For an evening stroll? Ahhhh! And you want to visit Switzerland? I scratch my head ... your place is so wonderful!
You sound like me. I have the intention to just relax and that to-do list just seems to creep up. I love the lilypad photos.
I don't go on the water much, but I can see that it could be very relaxing, great water Lilly photos.
I am so jealous that you can go kayaking!! It sounds like it was awesome!
Hi Dawn,
These pics are so beautiful. You are lucky having the lake there and I agree being out there can be so relaxing. Keep enjoying nature...
What a great way to chill out.
I've never been kayaking! Looks beautiful. :)
Beautiful pics! Looks like something to do more often.
We all need to remember to breathe... and enjoy our surroundings. Great post. :)
Beautiful lily pads.
Ohwow, what stunning photo's! I haven't been kayaking for years! I would absolutely love to go again sometime. It would be amazing.
remembering what it is that let's you breath is always good!
Glad kayaking is doing the trick!
Thanks and your pics turned out great!

Thanks for taking us along on your neat float Dawn. Glad I did not need sunscreen.
I'm so glad you take the time to breathe now and again. We really appreciate it.
See you tomorrow sweet lady.
Wonderful shots. Thanks for the reminder to drink in beauty and just be.
Oh Can I come? I love being on the water. Funny for photo Friday I was and am going to do water lol we think alike you and I.
What a peace easy feeling you get from these photos. Thanks Dawn. (I borrowed that line) B
Solitude can be so refreshing...especially out in a kayak!
I spend a lot of time in mine. I just got back from a week of daily rain, I thought my kayak might become a bathtub.
If no one has told you recently...you are amazing.
Lovely shots..I so want a kayak!
beautiful Dawn
simple beautiful

ps needing this this morning after a horrific night in my beautiful city!
love and light
The water can be healing! Enjoy it.
What a tranquil outing. We all need those, so glad you enjoyed and that you took photos! : )
these are wonderful! thanks for paddling so i could just sit here taking in the view. :o)
There is something about being out there on the water in a you-powered boat, isn't there?
Beautiful shots Dawn, and you take these with your phone camera? Wow, that makes them that much more impressive, I can't wait to see what you can do with a DSLR! You're a natural.
The time of year we've all been waiting for, no more getting stuck (unless it's in mud), no more plugging in our vehicles, no more putting on 5 layers of clothes, yup the time we've been waiting for has arrived and it looks like you're taking full advantage of it. Good for you Dawn!
I want to kayak with you on this gorgeous lake!! =)
Wow! Wonderfuul place for kayaking! I'm also a fan of this activity and at least twice a week in summer (January for us...) I cross the Parana river to the Islands in front of my city (Rosario) to enjoy the peace of the nature... you are right, it's very therapeutic!
Have a nice weekend...

Nature brings a sense of peace, no doubt about it.
Love the pics of the sun on the water and the lily pads.
Just beautiful. So relaxing and energizing at the same time. I love those lily pads. I paddle through lily pads when I go out in the poke boat at my parents house.
